Reception

Jeevi of Idlebrain.com wrote that "Over all, Kalusukovalani is an average fare". A critic from Sify wrote that "The only saving grace of this insipid movie is the music of Devi Sri Prasad and the camera of Sameer Reddy". Andhra Today wrote "Director Raghuraj does little to hide the fact that he is new to the job. Although the story is quite good, it becomes a casualty in the hands of the newcomer. The first half is slow, but the second half compensates by its interesting scenes while Ravi and Anjali are searching for each other".
